MISSION RESULTS
BMNT's Year in Review
The challenges facing the world today do not have easy answers. It will take a global community to solve them — from national security to natural disasters, from energy to the environment.
That requires a new kind of entrepreneur. One who cares about impact, not just profit. One who solves problems, not just shows off technology. One who steps into the arena, not just watches from the sideline.
One who is Mission-Driven.
BMNT empowers these entrepreneurs. Whether inside the government or as part of a startup, we find and support those who are Mission-Driven. Together, we are building a better future.
Be Mission-Driven. The world needs you.
The following tell the story of how we empowered the mission-driven movement in 2019 and where we are going next.
